In 2015, Andy Weir made it big with the Matt Damon movie adaptation of his 2011 book, The Martian. To follow up, he is releasing a new book called Artemis (out now) where Weir imagines life on the moon. Weir builds his science fiction novels with scientific facts, something that not all sci-fi literature does.

Today, guest host Eli Glasner will speak to Weir about his process of imagining life on the moon, being a science-obsessed writer in a time when facts are debated and moving from a self-published outsider to bestselling author.
